Quakes

It all started last night at 7:35 when a news bulletin popped up on the screen of my phone announcing the earthquake here in New England. The quake was in Maine, so down here on Cape Cod I didn't even feel the tremor, but it left me just a bit wary anyway.

Then, this . . . → Read More: Quakes

The Psalmist

This week I have been blessed more than usual in the spiritual realm. Maybe it has something to do with the new bible study, or just maybe I’m ready to take some more steps toward spiritual maturity, if there is such a thing.

I think there is such a thing. When I was hurt . . . → Read More: The Psalmist

Go Someplace You’ve Never Been

What a day. How many times have we all said that? At least once a week. Pull up a chair and listen to what I hit at every turn today.

It was the first day of our new women’s bible study. We have been on break for a full month. I really missed it. . . . → Read More: Go Someplace You’ve Never Been

Simple

Today started out with my mind in a mix of quandary. I went about my tasks of getting last minute things done before the gang arrives Tuesday for the holiday week. As I worked, I pondered, thought, schemed, and, yes, worried, about future outcomes of present situations. I'm sure you have had days like this . . . → Read More: Simple

All The Answers

I always have all the answers. Name a problem and I'll have the fix. And if I don't, I'll die trying to find it. Once in awhile, on Twitter, the Oprah flipboard will have something that catches my eye. Today it was a post by Martha Beck on "Overhelpers Anonymous". Overhelper is the word that . . . → Read More: All The Answers

Thank God For Bread

Everyday at the end of yoga class, I have a lot of energy and fight to bring myself to lay there after the class is over for the suggested 3-5 minutes. I do know jumping right up and running out into the cold lobby is not a good idea, so I had to devise a . . . → Read More: Thank God For Bread

Just Stand

Last night I was watching Smash, a new show that I’ve really enjoyed this season. It was nice to see a show not about crime and punishment or housewives. It was nice to see a theater setting instead of a hospital. All in all, it kept my interest to the point that I DVR’d it . . . → Read More: Just Stand

Even On Easter

Even on Easter, when God has his own big thing to celebrate today, he continues to care enough about my meager life and place yet another piece of his current theme for my days in my path. So far he's spoken to me on the topic of not giving up through books, music, meditation, and . . . → Read More: Even On Easter

Do You Know St. Anthony?

My mother-in-law did. I lived with my mother-in-law for five years. She was staunch Italian and believed in ghosts and Jesus. No one, and my daughters will second this, ever brought the spirit world closer to us than my mother-in-law.

For five years, whenever she lost something, I watched her pray to St. Anthony . . . → Read More: Do You Know St. Anthony?

Return To Power

I just can’t move off of II Tim 1:7. (Regular readers probably have memorized this verse along with me.)

“God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but one of power, love, and self-discipline.”

I get love and self-discipline, but I waffle on power. Today I came upon a thought provoking statement . . . → Read More: Return To Power
